Softly Sketched

Leave a reply

This week I’m using the distinktive set Softly Sketched. People that know me are aware that I really don’t like grey. Pebbled Path is one of the 2023-2025 in colors and it’s grey! But I decided to challenge myself and see what I could do with it.

I decided on Pebbled Path plus a pop of colour, courtesy of the 2023-2025 in color dots. These are Moody Mauve in case you’re unsure.

I stamped the sentiment first onto a piece of white measuring 5 by 3 3/4 inches and then followed with the image. The other part of the sentiment, “how amazing you really are” is stamped inside. There are a number of phrases in this stamp set that will fit. This was matted with a piece of Pebbled Path and then placed on a white card base.

Finally, as mentioned earlier, I added a few of the 2023-2025 in color dots.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this paper at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am. You can watch live, see the replay or check it out on YouTube.

When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

A Fish and a Wish

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set A Fish and a Wish. It’s a really fun bundle – for this card I’m also using the Fish Builder punch.

The coral/fern, from A Fish and a Wish, was stamped in Daffodil Delight with some Mango Melody daubed on.  The little fish were stamped in Gorgeous Grape and then an extra one was stamped and cut out with the Fish Builder punch. This layer was added to a Gorgeous Grape card base. Next the extra fish was added to the card with dimensionals.

Next clear Wink of Stella was added to all the fish and a few rhinestone jewels for bubbles. Finally the sentiment, from A Fish and a Wish, was stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto a piece of white. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

I made this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live this morning. You can watch  the replay or check it out on YouTube.

Eden’s Garden

This week I’m using the Eden’s Garden set. This time I decided to make my own DSP.

The images were stamped with Evening Evergreen, Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis onto a white layer which was cut to 5 1/2 by 3 3/4.  This was added to a Orchid Oasis layer measuring 5 1/2 by 3 7/8. I find the stamparatus is handy here to help with lining up the card layers. This was then mounted onto a white card base. 

The sentiment, from Eden’s Garden, was stamped in  Orchid Oasis and cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. This was added to the layer with dimensionals.

Finally some Matte Decorative dots were added to the card.

This week I’m using the Eden’s Garden set. And I liked Soft Succulent with Fresh Freesia so much that I did it yet again but this time I used Very Vanilla as the layer.

The image was inked up with Soft Succulent and then some Fresh Freesia was daubed on. Then it was stamped onto a white layer. The sentiment, from Eden’s Garden, was stamped in Fresh Freesia directly onto the layer. Subsequently it was added to a Fresh Freesia card base. 

Finally some Pastel Pearls were added although I’ve just realised that I could’ve used the opaque adhesive-backed gems. It’s nice to have choices!
